Calling all Parents, Grandparents and their kids!

The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad again returns this popular children’s train to the schedule in 2010 with a total of eight different Cinder Bear Train trips. The kids’ oriented train ride will operate weekly starting on Thursday, June 24th and will run every Thursday. The season’s final Cinder Bear Express will run on Thursday, August 12th, 2010.

This family adventure experience includes a round trip train ride from Chama to Cumbres Pass, with a picnic lunch at Cumbres Pass, outdoor activities and a Cinder Bear souvenir.

The train ride departs the Chama Depot at 11:00 AM and takes kids and their family on a one-hour trip up to the summit of Cumbres Pass at over 10,000 feet altitude. The train’s mascot, Cinder Bear, will be on hand to greet guests and the special adventure begins - storytelling, games, songs and more!

The return trip from Cumbres Pass back to the Chama Station allows everyone to relax and revel in the special train experience aboard the historic steam train. The Cinder Bear Express train arrives back in Chama at 3:00 PM. This ticket fare includes the train ride, the lunch, all activities and the Cinder Bear memento.

The Cinder Bear Express is the perfect way to introduce children of all ages to the railroad experience. The abbreviated train ride together with the picnic setting allows kids to enjoy both the steam train experience and burn off their own “steam” at Cumbres Pass during the picnic time. So grandparents and parents, pick up the phone and reserve your tickets today—making memories is our business! Call 1-888-286-2737.

Last year the Cinder Bear Express was a great hit with families and many of the trips did sell out. It is anticipated that this year’s trips will again be a popular and sold-out train ride. Early reservations are recommended.
